Everybody is aware of the effects of Trade Area policies
like NAFTA and CAFTA.They promise
lower prices and prosperity, freedom and happiness, but deliver draconian
policies and enforcement mechanisms that hurt workers, the environment, and
democracy.The latest maneuver in this
bait and switch approach to trade, which some know as “NAFTA
on steroids,” is called the TransPacific Free Trade Area proposal, or the
TPFTA.
